La reencarnación de lo efímero o cuando las exposiciones universales parían museos

Abstract

El propósito del artículo es revisar la vinculación existente entre ciertos museos y ciertas exposiciones internacionales durante la segunda mitad del siglo XIX y la primera del XX. Más concretamente, nos centraremos en museos creados de forma directa a partir de materiales o colecciones presentadas en determinadas exposiciones, incluidas algunas de proyección exclusivamente nacional. Los contextos referenciados son la etnología, el colonialismo, las misiones y el folklore. [ABSTRAC]The author focuses on the link that can be documented between some museums and some international exhibitions in the second half of the 19th century and the first one of the 20th. We study specifically museums that were created from collections or materials exhibited in certain world’s fairs or even in national exhibitions. Our areas of interest are ethnology, colonialism, Christian missions, and folklore.
